Cuisine: American
Serves: 24 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes using an electric mixer on medium speed.
- Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. This helps to evenly distribute the baking soda and salt throughout the flour.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tougher cookies.
- Fold in the butterscotch chips and chocolate chips using a spatula or wooden spoon, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart to allow for spreading while baking.
- Bake the cookies in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden but the centers still look soft. They will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the oven.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheets for about 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Enjoy your delicious butterscotch chocolate chip cookies while they are still warm, or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week!
Tips
- Ensure your butter is truly softened but not melted - this is crucial for that perfect cookie texture.
- Don't overmix the dough! Mix just until ingredients are combined to keep cookies tender.
- Use a cookie scoop for uniform size and even baking.
- Let cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to prevent breaking.
- For extra indulgence, slightly underbake the cookies to maintain that irresistibly soft center.
- Store in an airtight container with a slice of bread to keep them soft for days.
- For best results, use room temperature eggs and fresh ingredients.
- Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking for even more flavor development.
